1.	Laid in Orchids 03:33	lyrics	buy track
Tell me again Am I stuck in this Body till I’m needed As someone’s organs I’ll learn to live Observing pain And loss until I’m Laid in orchids Now I guess I’m reminded I’m not fearful of death Fearful of death Here again Angry all the time Play it back and then rewind At a loss Got your car to 95 until it stalled Oh thank god this grief is mine All the pain returns to love Staring at the sky I’m humbled by the chance to expire Now I guess I’m reminded I’m not fearful of death Fearful of death
2.	Static Dream 03:18	lyrics	buy track
Non stop ambient star light Crawling through the window Brings with it a past life Grinning in a half-sleep See with only half-sight Darkness in the doorway Were you with me last night? Jump start back through the past, when we laugh Orange balloon without a string Falling down onto the grass When you show up backlit Silver ring above your head Hold my palm up to your heart But I wake up cold instead Low in those moonlit hours Gazing up while the fallout descends I feel my eyes grow heavy Counting back until another begins I saw it all until I saw nothing Through another static dream Midnight lights up the concrete Jump start back through the past, when we laugh Orange balloon without a string Falling down onto the grass When you show up backlit Silver ring above your head Hold my palm up to your heart But I wake up cold instead Low in those moonlit hours Gazing up while the fallout descends I feel my eyes grow heavy Counting back until another begins I saw it all until I saw nothing Through another static dream I saw it all until I saw nothing Through another static dream I saw it all until I saw nothing Through another static dream I saw it all until I saw nothing Through another static dream Low in those moonlit hours Gazing up while the fallout descends I feel my eyes grow heavy Counting back until another begins
3.	Thorn 02:57	lyrics	buy track
Follow me down this is the sound of my head bleeding out Rising like smoke bring the spirit from the ground Breathe in and I choke had to cough and spit it out Memories appeared from another sundown Somewhere between a breath and the tongue There’s a life in your mind still waiting to be born Didn’t I know this all along that the pain lives on Long beyond the dream has gone Waiting for it all to kick in Spinning out with a grin This is my new life to begin Waiting for it all to kick in Spinning out with a grin This is my new life to begin Sheet metal made the chain that locks you into place What is there to do waiting on a fugue state His eyes shine blue with the reflection of the sky on his face Follow me down this is the caustic pop music sound Rising like smoke bring the spirit from the ground Breathe in and you choke have to cough and spit It out Running from your life into another sundown Waiting for it all to kick in Spinning out with a grin This is my new life to begin Waiting for it all to kick in Spinning out with a grin This is my new life to begin Waiting for it all to kick in Spinning out with a grin Waiting for it all to kick in Spinning out with a grin Follow me down this is the sound of my head bleeding out sound of my head bleeding out Follow me down this is the caustic pop music sound caustic pop music sound Follow me down this is the sound of my head bleeding out sound of my head bleeding out Follow me down this is the caustic pop music sound caustic pop music sound

There’s a dull red glow hanging to your memory Like all the pain we shared was somehow meant to be I woke up to your call blue light wrapped around me I thought it rang all night but I picked up and heard you say Meet me underneath the sky of another life Meet me underneath the sky of another life Dial tone beneath the dusk LED head rush Vacant eyes, taste of blood LED head rush Cool under the moonlight I can feel you next to me Is it the hum of midnight Or your passing energy I woke up to your call blue light wrapped around me Meet me underneath the sky of another life Meet me underneath the sky of another life Meet me underneath the sky of another life Meet me underneath the sky of another life I don’t see you anymore but our lives still intertwine I don’t see you anymore but our lives still intertwine Dial tone beneath the dusk LED head rush Vacant eyes, taste of blood LED head rush Dial tone beneath the dusk LED head rush Vacant eyes, taste of blood LED head rush

I see the lines in my face Run with the marks on my hands I’ve never answered to fate I’m just a hard working man Blue mare I’m down in the field again Spent all day laying against your head Blue Mare I lost something down here that I won’t get back I can show you everything that I am Water running through a sieve-like hand Blue mare I’m down in the field again Spent all day laying against your head Blue Mare I lost something down here that I won’t get back Blue mare I’m down in the field again Spent all day laying against your head Blue Mare I lost something down here that I won’t get back Show me where you go to feel like You’re a ghost of someone else There’s more than one way you can leave your self If you just don’t come back
7.	Latex Heart 02:09	lyrics	buy track
Please don’t tell me the truth I’m never funny around you But you said to hang around Because you liked my broken smile Punched in the window and climbed through Picked up the glass around the room Turned on the lights and I broke down And sat around Come lay down every fear Down every fear, I’ll be Come lay down every fear Down every fear, I’ll be Please don’t tell me the truth I’m always bleeding around you But you loved my latex heart I wanna tear your pain apart
8.	Harp 02:53	lyrics	buy track
Come on sing me something nice Silver canopy of sound Whisper from another life Like rain falling to the ground I’ll keep you with me Next time I die Let’s keep on living Next time we die Neighbor singing while she prays Soft and muted through the wall Strum the harp and hear it ring Out from my life into yours Still I’m taking all of my Dreams of you in stride Wake and hear you in my mind See you in my eyes I’ll keep you with me Next time I die Let’s keep on living Next time we pull from the harp Pull from the harp Pull from the harp Pull from the harp
9.	Contract 02:09	lyrics	buy track
Head cocked out the window Pass out wake up Too late pay up Concrete makeover Burning in this state of mind I peel out like there’s no return Flee internal prison in the city limits Headlights follow me like roaches Might call up the children in my ex life Fuck it life is screaming through the tail pipe Taking pulls for every memory until there’s nothing left to fight Life’s my contract with this world And all i gotta do is die Choking on ashes and propranolol Beneath the bleeding sky Fear takes form in moments Hurling pieces at the world Misfit rampage, child abduction Please stand as the flag unfurls Rid of love free in spirit Drag the bottle til I kill it Pain’s my bitch I fucking feel it White light flooding don’t go near it Life’s my contract with this world And all I gotta do is die Choking on ashes and propranolol Beneath the bleeding sky Sun’s down on this world so what’s next Sweat falls between my shirt and my chest I wrap my fingers through the chain link fence Going out like I burn at both ends Sun’s down on this world so what’s next Sweat falls between my shirt and my chest I wrap my fingers through the chain link fence Going out like I burn at both ends Rid of love free in spirit Drag the bottle til I kill it Pain’s my bitch I fucking feel it White light flooding don’t go near it Life’s my contract with this world And all I gotta do is die Choking on ashes and propranolol Beneath the bleeding sky

12.	Secret in the Dusk 03:33	lyrics	buy track
Brick put me in the back seat and turned to me Mouthing the Roth/Plummer robbery scene Brick always kept a bottle in the front seat Just to get through the traffic each day I forgive you for everything I lived through While so much is unclear to me I relive every moment from my bedroom Changing slowly, feeling everything Hey You keep your Secrets in the dusk Hey You keep your Secrets in the dusk And while I know that I’ll never really know you Outside of what I see in dreams I relive every moment from my bedroom Changing slowly, feeling everything I see you crying in the halftone dawn I hear you whispering in the cold night’s song Look back and wonder but I think I know why There was a dull, low frequency sadness in your eyes Hey You keep your Secrets in the dusk Hey You keep your Secrets in the dusk Hey You keep your Secrets in the dusk Hey You keep your Secrets in the dusk Hey You keep your Secrets in the dusk

Last light, midnight Counting stars until the dawn Laid my cards out But God’s a shameless gambling dog Soft light, smoke eyes Heaven just gained a bad guy Our lives turning As we fall into a daydream Is it possible that we Are exactly what we are Blood rite Laying blade to palm Marked onto the walls Locking pulse to pulse And drawn onto the world Laying blade to palm Marked onto the walls I can’t help but hope I might one day die this way Last light, midnight Counting stars until the dawn Laid my cards out But God’s a shameless gambling dog Soft light, smoke eyes Heaven just gained a bad guy Our lives turning As we fall into a daydream Is it possible that we Are exactly what we are Blood rite Laying blade to palm Marked onto the walls Locking pulse to pulse And drawn onto the world Laying blade to palm Marked onto the walls Locking pulse to pulse And drawn onto the world I can’t help but hope I might one day die this way I can’t help but hope I might one day die this way I can’t help but hope I might one day die this way I can’t help but hope I might one day die this way

about

Los Angeles-via-Oakland musician Chris Adams who makes music under the moniker PENDANT releases his Saddle Creek debut Harp, on April 8th. A lush, surprising new body of work from the producer and songwriter, Harp connects 90s house and rave music with hip-hop, shoegaze, and pop, and which serves as a culmination of years of painful emotional work for Adams brought on by the death of his Father over 10 years prior. Though Harp is Adam’s sophomore album as PENDANT, it feels like a starting point. The release of his 2019 debut Through a Coil was shadowed by the dissolution of the record label it was released on the day it was released. A year later he was burnt out. Attempting to tour the album had been hard on his voice, and the structures of rock music, which had dictated his entire life as a musician, were beginning to feel claustrophobic.

PENDANT’s salvation came, ironically, in the form of the pandemic. Adams was ready to make new music but was both mentally and physically marooned, unable to reach the tools he would ordinarily use to make music or the headspace he would ordinarily inhabit. Without a guitar, the crutch that had supported much of his music-making in the past, he was forced to sketch out Harp’s world in a more impressionistic, free-associative way. Long a fan of dance and electronic music, he was suddenly without any good reason to not venture into that beat-heavy, synth-drenched world. The resulting Harp recalls the precise but emotionally rich landscapes of Arca or Oneohtrix Point Never, rendered in the watercolors of My Bloody Valentine.
